A new month is upon us and as we roll over into the height of the Summer, it is the perfect time to make the most of fruity and fresh scents.  

Colours

Traditional sunshine colours such as Green, Blue, White, and Pink are all ideal as we continue to enjoy the Summer, but the shades begin to darken slightly as the summer progresses. 
You can purchase a wide range of Inpex candle dyes here. 

Fragrances

Fragrance trends in August are fresh and natural scents to combat the Summer heat and make you feel cool and refreshed. Here are the top trends for this month:

Golden Wax Comparison: Which soy wax should I choose?

By
We are often asked questions such as ‘what is the difference between the Golden Waxes?’ and ‘which soy wax should I use?’ To help make this easier, we have put together a handy wax comparison chart for the Golden Wax 494, Golden Wax 464, and Golden Wax 444: The Similarities All three of the Golden Waxes are manufactured by AAK. They are natural, kosher, vegan and cruelty free. The most suitable dye to use with natural soy wax is the Inpex SD Dye . Additionally, all three waxes have very similar fragrance loads (10-11%) and offer fantastic cold and hot throw when used alongside Escentscia Prime Range and Style Range fragrance oils. The Differences When choosing which soy wax to use, you need to first consider the type of candle you will be making. For wax melts and small moulded candles, you need a wax which contracts as it cools to allow mould release and therefore the Golden Wax 494 is most suitable. Please note that the Golden Wax 494 is not suitable for pillar candles.   For ...

Candle Making Guide: How to prime raw candle wick

By
All wicks should be coated in wax before they are used. We offer pre-waxed candle wicks here for customers who prefer the convenience, but we also offer raw candle wick here for customers who enjoy priming their own wicks. Raw wick is unwaxed cotton wick. It is supplied in string-like format and is wound onto a cardboard bobbin. A step-by-step guide to priming your own wicks can be found below: Cut the required length of wick off the cardboard spool which it is supplied on.  Dip the wick into the melted wax and keep the wick in the melted wax until you see air bubbles rise to the surface. This generally takes a few seconds.  When this happens, it means that the wick has absorbed a sufficient amount of wax and the wick can now be removed from the wax. Run your fingers along the wick to remove any extra air bubbles and then lay flat on a hard surface. Once this has dried, we recommend repeating this procedure twice, but please note when doing the 2nd and 3rd layer you only nee...

Candle Making Tip: Cold-Water Bath Method

By
Introduction: For many candle makers, the cold-water bath method is a great way to increase efficiency when making wax tarts/melts and moulded candles. Traditional cooling methods may take several hours before a candle/melt can be released from its mould however, by using the cold-water bath method, this can be greatly reduced to around 10-15 minutes (depending on your mould.) The cold-water bath method also enhances the finish of your candle or melts and helps to create a much glossier finish! Our other candle making guides/tips can be found here! Method: Once you have poured your candle or wax melt, wait for the candle or melt to develop a thick skin; the length of time that this take depends on the size of your candle/melt, your pouring temperature, water temperature, and your mould.  Once this has happened and your poured candle wax is no longer molten, (yet still squidgy to the touch) fill a bucket or container with cold water.  Submerge your candle or melt ...
